Avtomobilist vs Dynamo Prediction 13 February 2026
📣 The ice battles between Eastern and Western teams continue to captivate KHL fans. This Friday, Avtomobilist face off against Dynamo Moscow. Both teams are striving to improve their playoff standings as the regular season winds down, making every point crucial at this stage.
Head-to-Head
It's hard to believe, but by mid-February, these teams have yet to face each other this season. In last year's regular season, Yekaterinburg and Dynamo Moscow clashed twice, with Dynamo emerging victorious in both encounters. Notably, the "White-Blues" signaled their serious intentions early in both games, scoring at least twice against Vladimir Galkin in the first period. Nikolay Zavarukhin's squad couldn't stage a comeback but did manage a consolation goal in each match. Looking at the overall head-to-head record, it's striking that Dynamo have only lost to Avtomobilist once in their last ten meetings.
Head-to-head statistics Avtomobilist - Dynamo
Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg Team Overview
Avtomobilist have clinched victory in 7 of their last 10 games. Throughout the season, Meisek and his teammates have maintained an average scoring rate of 2.94 goals per game, with an even higher tally of 3.32 goals per match on home ice. Defensively, they allow an average of 2.49 goals against per game. The team's power play remains a formidable asset. This is hardly surprising, especially after signing Daniel Sprong, which has made Yekaterinburg's top lines even more intimidating. This week, Avtomobilist struggled against Magnitogorsk’s Metallurg (1-4). The team faced numerous penalties and completely faltered in the second period. Currently, they sit fourth in the Eastern Conference, trailing third-placed Ak Bars by 9 points. Reed Boucher’s participation in Friday’s match is uncertain due to personal reasons. Defenseman Dmitry Yudin remains on the injured list.
Match Results: Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg
Dynamo Moscow Team Overview
Dynamo have managed just three wins in their last ten outings. Their derby against Spartak ended in a victory for the "Blue and Whites" (3-2). Vyacheslav Kozlov's squad bounced back after a poor first period and prevented Spartak from turning the game around in the final twenty minutes. Notably, Dynamo's average scoring rate this season is about 2.69 goals per game, while their defense, led by Ozhiganov, concedes an average of 2.59 goals per match. On the positive side, Gusev and his teammates have shown strong execution in the second period, often managing to score at least once. Currently, the Moscow team sits in 7th place in the Western Conference, but there are still opportunities to climb higher. Defenseman Gotovets is on the injured list, and Maxim Comtois' participation on Friday remains uncertain.
Match Results: Dynamo Moscow
🏒 Projected Lineups
Avtomobilist: Galkin - Blacker, Shchukinov - Macek, Sharov, Sprong
Dynamo: Motorygin - Ozhiganov, Pylenkov - Slepyshov, Shvets-Rogovoy, Der-Arguchintsev
🥅 Goalies
Vladimir Galkin continues to share playing time with Yevgeni Alikin. Should any setbacks occur, Avtomobilist's goalies are always ready to step in for each other during the game. Currently, Galkin boasts a goals-against average (GAA) of 2.30 over 28 games.
It's reasonable to predict that Dynamo will start Friday's match with goaltender Maxim Motorygin between the pipes. The 23-year-old has recorded a GAA of 2.38 across 25 contests and has even attracted interest from several NHL teams this season.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Avtomobilist have been delivering more consistent performances in recent games compared to Dynamo. However, the Moscow side leads the head-to-head record against Yekaterinburg and could capitalize on Avtomobilist's recent slip-up against Metallurg. Consider a bet on Dynamo's double chance (X2). The participation of one of Avtomobilist's key forwards, Reid Boucher, in Friday's match remains uncertain. Additionally, Vyacheslav Kozlov's squad has a solid opportunity to break into the top 5 in the West as the season winds down. Every point is crucial for them at this stage.No comments
